Projects
  • D&AD Wood Pencil Winner - VICE
    D&AD Wood Pencil Winner - VICEThis was a university project I did in university. I entered a D&AD competition partnered with VICE and the brief was to create a 15 second ident to introduce their 'Rule Britannia' documentaries. I rotoscoped a point-of-view animation of someone staggering out of a pub and throwing up into the street.
  • Portraits
    PortraitsThese are 4 portraits I drew for our final project in university. I also made an animation, but that still needs work. My personal research project was on Italian criminal organizations, and the portraits represent 4 major bosses from the three different mafias of southern Italy. I made other portraits, but these 4 were the best ones. I exhibited them at our end of year exhibition, 'Keepsake', that ran through June at Camberwell College of Arts. Top left, Paolo Di Lauro, of the Camorra, mafia of Naples. Top right, Michele Zagaria, of the Camorra, mafia of Naples. Bottom left, Salvatore Riina, of Cosa Nostra, mafia of Sicily. Bottom right, Antonio Pelle, of the 'Ndrangheta, mafia of Calabria.
  • Editorial Illustration project
    Editorial Illustration projectThis was an editorial project. I produced this illustration to accompany an article, that would be placed on the right hand side of the illustration. The article was a short extract from the book 'Invisible Cities' by Italo Calvino, from the chapter called 'Hypatia'. I included some process thumbnails to show my decision-making skills.

  • Hitchcock In The Park poster project
    Hitchcock In The Park poster projectCreate 4 posters based on Alfred Hitchcock's movies. The posters were for an imaginary film festival set in Central Park, New York. The posters had to include elements of New York, as well as elements from the movies. The films I chose were 'The Birds', 'Rear Window', 'Psycho', 'Vertigo'.
  • Gif projectI created this GIF for an animation project in university. We had to create a looping animation to submit to loopdeloop.org , a bi-monthly animation challenge. The theme was FACES, and the selected animations were screened at the loopdeloop Festival in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Paris and Los Angeles. Mine was selected among many others to be screened in those cities.
